DownTown Mystic feat. Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band

American rocker DownTown Mystic contributes the song Way To Know to our Rage Against The Brexit Machine project. Way To Know features the RnR Hall of Fame rhythm section of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band – Max Weinberg & Garry Tallent. DownTown Mystic writer/producer, Robert Allen, explains

“I just happened to see a tweet that Nub was looking for songs and artists for the RATBM project. I contacted Nub head Mark Lee about it and Mark, with A&R man Guy Thompson, got the song to Peter and put me in touch with him. Peter called me to tell me how much he liked the song and thought it was a good fit with RATBM.”

Rage Against The Brexit Machine is part of a Stop Brexit movement using pop music to bring attention to the disaster that Brexit will cause in the UK if it is not abandoned and overturned before it’s too late.

“Naked populism brought us the Brexit referendum result. We will lay Brexit to rest via a populist approach that will expose the naked truth about Brexit and the compelling benefits of a Better Britain in a United Europe. The USA is having much the same problem with Trump so we have joined forces to wake the world up to what’s going on”

Peter Cook, Founder of Rage Against The Brexit Machine

After hearing Way To Know, I felt I had found the song for the moment:

“Way To Know explores the zeitgeist of the day – what is going on around the world?”

Robert added:

“Brexit should have forewarned us about the possibility of Trump winning in the US. The one good thing to come out of it is the Resistance Movement against Trump. Maybe the people in the UK should take a good look at the US now and see what happens when lies and fake news are believed–you might not get what you bargained for.”

DownTown Mystic’s next release is DownTown On E Street EP featuring four exclusive tracks with Max & Garry. This should pave the way for the release of the Rock’n’Roll Romantic album in 2018. Robert comments:

“Nub’s recent Distribution Deal with ADA/Warner Music should be of great benefit to releasing DownTown Mystic’s music in the UK and the rest of Europe. It’s an exciting development.”
